Whale watching - It was really great; the crew was very knowledgeable and explained the different whales we were seeing. was able to take us to the exact spots for some great sightings. I would do this tour again; we were at the end of whale season so do recommend doing it earlier in the year to see more whales.

Amazing experience! - The Quicksilver crew was awesome! Despite it being the last day of the season, they were able to locate and follow a whale to get us a few great glimpses. The captain shared a lot of cool whale facts and the views in between whale sightings were absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend and hope we get to join them again one day!

Missed the whales but what a lovely day on a boat. - Excellent service. Beautiful views and friendly staff. No whales sighted but they did offer a follow up tour to get another chance. It’s the end of whale season but I appreciate that they offered this. I would definitely book this again.

No Guarantees of Whale sightings - This was a good cruise, everyone had a great time. We went in late April so we didn’t see any whales, we’re told that whale season was over. If you want to see whales on this cruise do it during the season when they are likely to still be in Maui.

exciting experience - We were lucky, although in April there is no guarantee of watching cetaceans we spotted two whales. We arrived at the port of Maalaea where the tour departs, with public buses from the capital of Maui that is from Kahului. A welcome surprise, public buses in Maui for seniors over 65 are completely free upon showing their passports. I think that the organizers of the tour to bring the cetaceans closer to the boat and accommodate the tourists throw something into the sea that attracts them, in fact a whale was circling the boat and I do not think to greet us.
